The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) National Culture Collection for Pathogens (NCCP) is in charge of the collection, quality control, and commercialization of the pathogens and information which causes the infectious disease, and distribute them to be utilized for promotion of the public health and the healthcare industry. Within the past 5 years, the number of pathogen resources distributed was 1,659 in 2015, 1,823 in 2016, 1,457 in 2017, 1,156 in 2018, and 1,706 in 2019. Categorized by months, more pathogens were distributed in February and March and September and October compared to other months. Categorized by the institution, profit organization (3,069) requested more distributions than national and public research institutes (2,291). Categorized by the purpose of distribution, 440 cases were for the vaccine or treatment development, 3,041 cases were for the diagnostic technology development, 2,487 cases were for the education and 1,134 cases were for quality control.
Since NCCP Task Force (TF) was established in 2012 and the law for collection, management, and exploitation of pathogen resources became effective in 2017, NCCP, a national responsible organization, and organization of deposition, registration, and preservation, perform the tasks. In this article, we provide information on the recent status of pathogen resource distribution over the past five years and to present the pathogen resources that are available for distribution to encourage widespread use of the pathogen resources in infectious disease research and public health area.
